Historical Scenarios

USN vs Vichy France, Nov., 1942

Opening Range, 18,000 yards.
US forces are between the French and the US transports. The US Transports
are 8000 yards behind the US forces.
CL Witchita, Tuscaloosa may reinforce after 10 turns.
BB Massachusstes may enter after 15 turns.

French goal is to sink as many US transports as possible. US goal is
to drive off the French forces.

Historical Result: US forces drove off the French, but not before quite
a scare was given the transports (and the Admiral responsible for protecting
them!)
No ships sunk on either side, mainly due to the skillful use of smoke
by the French.

RN vs IJN, Gulf of Siam, 1944

IJN

CA Haguro

RN

4 DD

Historical Result

Haguro was sunk, and the DD's took no damage.

Hypothetical Scenarios

These have historical forces, which were in the area, but did not meet
for one reason or another

August 1943

USN vs Italy

Italy

CL Raimondo Montecuccoli, Eugenio di Savioa

USN
CL Philadephia, Savannah, Boise, Brooklyn

In truth, only two or three of the USN crusiers would have been available.
Don't use all four. The scenario can be either day or night, but night
woudl give the usn a big advantage due to Italy's not having either radar,
or night training anywhere close to the IJN.

In general, the Italian should be allowed to concentrate a greater part
of their forces than the British, as the latter would have been covering
the landings, worrying about feints, etc.

USN vs IJN December 26, 1994 Off Mindoro

The IJN tried to raid a beachhead off Mindoro just after the US landed.
US forces were unable to get to the scene on time, but the IJN did minimal
damage. Had the US gotten there in time, the following battle could have
occurred.
